As a pafo member, my take on the finances that anything under $X in the
parrot coffers should just get transferred to TPF. We should probably also
be thinking about what ongoing charges the foundation is paying and if
those will need to recur under a new org.
As a member of the grants committee of TPF, I would expect that anything
that helps perl6 on parrot by improving parrot would get consideration,
which I would say is implicitly the case today.
